Panini Brasileirao 2024

Brasileirão 2024 is the official sticker collection of the 2024 Brazilian football championship, featuring clubs from both Série A and Série B. This year's collection is particularly challenging for collectors, as it includes not only the regular album but also two upgrade sets. These sets are essential to complete the album, as they contain both "Player of the Month" and "Seleção Panini" stickers—plus a number of extra stickers. To make things even more complicated, four of the "Player of the Month" stickers are not included in any packet or upgrade set and can only be ordered directly from the Panini Brazil website. This adds an unnecessary layer of difficulty, especially for international collectors.

The album begins with the table of contents and the first shiny sticker featuring the Panini emblem. The 20 Série A clubs follow, presented in the order of the final classification from the 2023 season. Each team spans three pages and includes 25 stickers: five shiny stickers (the club badge, home shirt, and three action shots) and 20 player portrait stickers.

After the Série A section, we find the "Jogador do Mês" (Player of the Month) section with nine stickers (JM1 to JM9). The first two (JM1–JM2) are found in regular sticker packets, JM3 to JM5 are included in the upgrade sets, while the final four (JM6–JM9) are available exclusively through Panini Brazil’s online sticker service.

Next is a page featuring the shiny Série A trophy sticker, followed by the "Seleção Panini – Série A" section, which highlights the best players and team of the season with five stickers. These stickers are also part of the upgrade set.

The album then continues with the Série B section, where each team is featured on a single page with eight stickers: a shiny badge, a shiny home shirt, and six player stickers (two players per sticker). This section concludes with the shiny Série B trophy sticker and the "Seleção Panini – Série B", which again includes five stickers of standout players and is part of the upgrade set.

In total, the album includes 682 numbered stickers. However, the upgrade sets introduce a substantial number of additional stickers that are not required to complete the album. These include shiny mascot stickers for both Série A and Série B, 20 new signing stickers (notably Memphis Depay and Philippe Coutinho), 23 goal celebration stickers, 24 "Torcida" stickers featuring fan chants or slogans for each Série A club, new trophies, the official ball, various logos, and five shiny "Ídolos" stickers of stars like Estêvão, Luiz Henrique, Philippe Coutinho, De Arrascaeta, and Pablo Vegetti. Additionally, there are 15 parallel stickers of key players in special finishes.

Overall, Brasileirão 2024 is an extensive and visually appealing collection—especially in its hardcover version—but with more than 800 stickers released in total, it feels excessive. Considering that only 682 are actually needed to complete the album, a single, streamlined upgrade set including all essential stickers would have been a far more collector-friendly solution.
